WINDHAM, Maine — Windham police said Wednesday that the driver of the vehicle that struck a school bus loaded with students was operating after suspension of her driver’s license.

Phyllis White, 86, was issued a criminal summons for the violation at the scene and then was taken to the hospital as a precaution, Windham police Sgt. David H Bonneau said in a news release.

None of the students on the bus were injured, he said.

Bonneau said that officers determined that White, who was driving north on Pope Road about 3:20 p.m., crossed into an intersection and struck a Regional School Unit 14 school bus that was traveling west on Windham Center Road.

The cause of the crash is currently under investigation.

Officer Eric P. Quatrano is assigned as the lead investigator.
